How wonderful! And how much more wonderful this could be if you had this video in Spanish! You could reach an entire continent of women. I would be happy to translate this for you, if you like. Please let me know. Congratulations!!

Thank you, Kara,
These are the images needed to inspire a new respect for the love of motherhood and birth. These sentiments bring me back to my first pregnancy and birth in 1977. You slide show is a delight.

Ditto on making the video available in Spanish-I'll show it to all my moms! How about one for teens too!

Kara,

This is beautiful. Mothers need to hear positive affirmations, they are exposed to so many misconceptions and negative messages. It is so refreshing.

What a wonderful video! I am going to share it with my expecting moms and with our prenatal yoga instructor! Just breathtaking!

Ditto-three re: translating to Spanish. I will read it aloud to my pre-natal groups; however, it will be great if they can just look at it without distractions.

Great and lovely idea!

I love the affirmations and positive images. This is just what women today need to see and read to counter the negative birth culture.
Two suggestions: include people from different ethnic backrounds. I just watched it once, but I don't recall seeing any images that weren't of caucasian women and babies. Also, as a musician, I feel that the music doesn't match the positive vibe of the video...it sounds like music that would be used for a documentary about something depressing like global warming...just my opinion. I think something more beautiful would improve the overall effect.
But, aside from that, this video is excellent.

Liz: There are multiple pictures of non-Caucasion moms, babies, and families in the video. Also, I choose the music because I love that piece. Different music for different people! I find it uplifting.
